Ok sooo I really wanted to love this 💔 Like, the packaging? Adorable. The hype? Insane. Everyone made it sound like a miracle in a bottle ✨ but... honestly? It was just... fine. 🫠

Texture-wise, it’s super lightweight 💧 and absorbs fast, which I did like. No weird sticky feeling, no heavy layers it’s comfy enough for everyday use. 🖤

And yes, it’s gentle. I have sensitive-combo skin that usually throws a fit when I use retinol 🥲 but this one didn’t cause crazy peeling or irritation. A tiny bit of dryness around my mouth after a few uses, but nothing major.

BUT. The results were sooo slow 😩 Like, after 5 weeks, my skin was maybe a little smoother? Maybe slightly more even-toned? Idk, it just wasn’t the glow-up I was hoping for. 🌫️

I was lowkey expecting brighter skin, softer texture, smaller pores all the TikTok girls were promising ✨✨✨ but honestly? It felt like using a super gentle moisturizer with a sprinkle of retinol dust lol 😭

Also, for something marketed as a renewing serum, it’s kind of... basic? 😶 The formula is nice niacinamide, panthenol, allatoin are solid choices but there’s no super innovative delivery system or fancy encapsulated tech like you see in other retinols these days 🚶🏻‍♀️

Final thoughts:
• Cute bottle 🍼
• Good for true beginners or super sensitive skin 🌸
• But if you’re expecting ✨major✨ transformation... manage your expectations pls 😬
• Probably better as a starter retinol than a serious treatment

Will I finish the bottle? Yeah.
Will I repurchase? Ehhh probably not 🙃
